- An Indian gaur (bos gaurus) has been spotted in the Atmakur stretch of Nallamala forest in Andhra Pradesh’s Nandyal district.
- The forest was once home to the Indian gaur (Adavi Dunna in Telugu), which strangely disappeared from the landscape for a long time.
- The Indian gaur was last found here in the 1870s, and hence it has made a reappearance after 150 years.
- The Gaur also called Indian Bison, is the largest extant bovine, native to South Asia and Southeast Asia.
- Nagarjunsagar-Srisailam Tiger Reserve is the largest tiger reserve in India.
